To ask the Chief Executive to report on the number of submissions or observations that were made in relation to live planning applications in 2025 and the amount of fees collected in relation to them.

REPLY:

There were 725 submissions received in 2025 and the amount of fees collected was €10,400 (ten thousand and four hundred euro). Under the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), a standard submission or observation on a planning application carries a €20 fee for members of the public. Some of these submissions were made by Elected Members in a representational capacity and Elected Members are exempt from this fee.
